'The Tall Man TOWERING PROBLEM — The own er of this 175-foot high castle tower in Tonbridge, Kent, England, has a problem, He is having a hard time selling the property, and he can't see plowing $10,000 into the place to make it liveable. The Tallest of Them All' Modern Fable For Free Enterprisers As a student of life and a phil- osopher on the humen scene, 1 would make it clear that I am, net violent about this, it is not something 1 would, enforce, or carry out with eines and punish- ments, or even bayonets, 1 would. prefer to see it come about as rational process, something to be done by the dandelion, eaters themselves es the result of their own final realization of truth. It would be my hope that they would get together, like sun worshipers or people who hold cockfights, and withdraw of their own volition that their peculiar interest might not intrude on others, It is not that I oppose greens in general, although I do regard them as a frivolous aspect of ingestion. But if some hostess throws a gob of some kind of boiled weed on my plate, I don't go to pieces. I know, as a hu- manist, that the gustibus is, va- riable. I also know by the same token that I may never know why. I do not know why the morning glory closes at its love- liest hour, either, or why maple trees don't have beeehnets. Why do geese honk and ducks quack? Some things are simply the na- ture of the beast, and unfathom- able. Some men play golf, and others eat dandelion greens, The equanimity of the truly inquir- ing spirit makes allowances, and is seldom amazed. On the other hand, I see a dif- ference between greens and dan- delion greens. I can see why some husbandry-wife, perhaps in the dark hour of famine, the faces of her haggard children staring up in hollow-eyed want, in the last desperation of ex- tremity, decided to try , some boiled spinach, and perhaps made them eat it at gun point, Swiss chard, beet and turnip tops, and some other things can be logically construed as a means to an end, if circumstances are bad all over. But it is not logical to presume that the hu- man mind, proceeding from mi- sery to a mass of mushed mus- tard, would thereupon turn and say, "What we have done with this, we may also do with dan- delions," I have always advocated a piece of salt pork for the finer nuances of culinary success. A. cook who has learned when, where and how to blend the effi- cacious bounties of salt pork meets my approval. But I have, likewise deplored the continued waste of salt pork in cooking dandelion greens. To see a wo- man drop a nugget of salt pork Into a pot of stewing vegetation seems like dropping a bright ruby into the sea—a needless and unprofitable wasting of the assets. Flower in the crannied wall— saith the poet, I see, likewise, golden blossoms on the lea, wav- ing in the soft breeze of spring, and am moved to winged words. I'd just as lief have a hot dog. By John Gould in the Christian Science Monitor, When jubilant spring bounds Earth to gladden the land there Persists a subversive belief that the dandelion is food, No matter how much "pregress" we have clocked up, during the twelve- month past, there is elWaYe somebody in every camp who impugns the entire intellectual program of man, and goes out and digs dandelion greens, I do net know why 'this is so. We have produced great minds who lead its forward and onward, break- ing the shackles of a benighted and unprivileged past, and just as we aro cheering loudest about the magnificent accomplishments of our unfettered era, somebody shows up with a pan full of dandelion greens, ,Some years back we had a friend who was particularly ob- noxious on this topic, and over- did it. "Oh," she would say. "I would rather have dandelion greens than a license to steal!" She would say, "There isn't any thing I would rather have than a great, big, heaping mess of dandelion greens!" This is abs- urd, for there is probably no- thing anybody would really rath- er have than anything else, being as we are, That isn't the way hankering goes. One time after this friend had loudly stated the overwhelming vase for dandelion greens I took a skinning knife and went down on our slope, and in about 10 minutes I had a pile of dande- lion greens that' looked, like provender we would load on a cart and haul up to the barn to deed the young stock, I carried all I could lug up to the house and set them to cook. Shortly the kitchen smelled as if I were doing a large family wash, and after the stuff cooked long enough I forked it out on a platter and set it in front of my dandelion loving friend, Then the rest of us all had broiled beefsteaks with onions and F.F. Pots. I could see right off that our friend "got the point. We permitted her to seethe a little, and she picked at the dandelions end looked as if she had sudden- ly learned the secret of despis- ing everybody, and after a while I got up and brought her a steak, too. / also delivered a short ethical lecture, the principal argument being that it's hard on smart, friendly, intelligent, 'up- standing family if word gets about the community that they deep company with anybody who eats dandelion greens. So, I think dandelion greens, if eaten at all, should always be applied in secret. Folks who like them should. be made to register with the city clerk and carry a. card. There are so many won- derful things in this world to like, and the provisions of the sense of taste are so Marvelously bestowed, that we should classify and isolate evident instances of aberration, Then every com- munity should have a little re- 4reat, surrounded by a high wall, where dandelion eeters.conld go. k Barbecue days are here again and a few hints regarding this method of cooking might not be amiss. Barbecuing in your oven is really the easiest way to get your meat just as you want it, but this method lacks the dra- matic fun of outdoor cooking, Outside, you should brush sauce on the meat and turn every 15 minutes, Meat may be soaked from 1 to 2 hours in sauce before cooking. A thin sauce is best for this, but here are recipes for both thin and thick sauces. Take your choice. THIN BARBECUE SAUCE 1;f2 poimd butter 1 pint vinegar 1/2 cup water 1.teaspeon dry mustard 2 tablespoons minced onion 11/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce 1/2 cup tomato catchup 1/2 cup chili sauce Juice of 1/2 lemon 1 clove garlic tied in small porous bag Mix all together and simmer 1 hour to blend seasonings. Remove garlic. Add cayenne pepper for a "hot" sauce, • THICK BARBECUE SAUCE 2 small onions 2 tablespoons vinegar 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon chili powder % cup water 94, cup catsup 1 teaspoon salt Mince onion very fine, Mix all ingredients in a heavy skillet. Cover and simmer about 45 min- utes. You may keep both of the above sauces in the 'refrigerator and use as needed for your bar- becuing. • for the first time in "The Plains- man." As Preston once told me: "I changed my mind quickly. He was an actor — and what an actor. If you weren't on your toes every minute he could cut you up." In his Westerns he was tall in the saddle, As Gary Cooper, he hated horses, mostly because of a broken hip suffered at 17 which bothered him every time he put a foot into a stirrup, The hip injury didn't come from a horse but from a pesky, .un- broken Model T Ford. As Gary Cooper the actor, he underplayed everything — "I couldn't force him to overact even by 'building a fire under him," C. B. DeMille once said — but as Gary Cooper the man, lie spent his lifetime ping out of his way to bring happiness to his family, his relatives, his friends and strangers whose names he never knew. As Gary Cooper the actor AND the man he was the. White Knight, the guy next door, the sophisticate at Maxim's, St. George in buckskin,— the tall man — the tallest ;of ehetn all. ' HOLLYWOOD — During most of his adult leietime Gary Coo- per was known best as the strong silent man out West who kicked dirt with his booted toe in em- barrassment when a lady smiled at him — and who was reluctant to draw in a gun duel but who set a staggering record. for "kill- ing" movie badmen. That was the movie image. But as Gary Cooper he was like Will Rogers he never met a man he didn't like, As Gary Cooper he had a way with the ladies; he was a sophisticate like the one he played in "Love In the Afternoon." As Gary Cooper, the word "Yelp" was never heard in any of his conversations, He was born in Montana, the son of a state supreme court justice. As Gary Cooper, he was more at home in an elegant restaurant than in a bunkhouse grub room. He will be remembered as the man in blue jeans, leather shirt s/4 QUEEN TAKES OPERA IN A SHORT DOSE For the first time in its illus- trious history, the world's grand- est old opera house put on a pri- vate performance—for Britain's visiting Queen Elizabeth, who really doesn't give a tra-la-la about opera. In the royal box at La Scala sat Elizabeth' and Prince Philip, British Ambassa- dor Sir Ashley Clarke, and Mayor Virgilie Ferrari of Milan —alone in the 3,200-seat theater except for some 50 journalists and other eavesdroppers scatter- ed around in side boxes. The performance: A., twelve-minute excerpt from Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor," with Australi- an soprano Joan Sutherland singing Lucia. Onstage after- ward, Philip spotted the promp- ter's box and • began pimping Miss Sutherland about the prompter: Q. "Does he. Scream at you?" A, "We hope he does." Q. "How can you leak at both the prompter and the orchestra director?" Philip laughed de- lightedly at Miss Sutheriarld'e candid reply: "I never look at either one of them."

The movie image left him as a man of the outdoors, who used simple words and who had sim- ple tastes, As Gary Cooper, he went to prep school in England, studied art at Grinnell College in Iowa, He could order dinner in French and drove sleek ex- pensive automobiles. A.s an,.aotor he won three Aca- demy Awards — two Osears.for his performances in 1941's "Ser- geant York" and 1952's "High Noon," and another in 1961 for his contributions to the motion picture industry. As Gary Cooper, he won, and kept, more friends than any man I've ever known in Hollywood. The movie image typed him as a "cowboy hero" but in over 100 films during 35' years his roles were es diversified as those play- ed by actors who never invaded the celluloid. West. He Went to Washington as "John Doe"; he was "The Pride of the ankess"; he was sensitive lover and ruthless racketeer; the "White ; Knight" in ,`Alice in Wonderland,l'irand a distingeish- ed profeesor e." eeho fell in tove With e strip tea or in "Ball of Fite 1: But Out West, in the saddle,' he was ,'Itall '.the — tallest of the tail men in Physical e'ppeaeancem. and in teharacter, e , As a'i actor, many an .actees said he couldn't act e-- that he spent 35 years playing himself.

He then en- rolled in' the state university under the GI bill, working part time for the state to supplement his GI check. Upon graduation he married a public health nurse and bought a farm with an FHA loan, then obtained an RFC loan to go into business.
